I don't get it. Was the houses in the background built after it was rediscovered, or were people just blind?

Was it burried? How? Its on the top of a hill.

Here is another angle with even more buildings and fields with a clear line of sight.

I'm imagining it looked something like the Teotihuacan pyramid before it was excavated: looks like a mountain.

Nah, they are all over. There's enough of them that the ancient aliens people always end up talking about them. Famous one in Eastern Europe. The difference is that those have strata layers, not blocks of stone

do you mean buried pyramids or mountains that look like they contain pyramids but are just mountains?

Mountains that look like pyramids are pretty common. Normally they aren't quite that straight, but it does happen. AFAIK we scan them these days to see if anything is there before bothering to dig

This site, "the ancient theater archive" says the hangglider guy was used to seeing glimpses of ruins covered by foliage, but there had been a recent brush fire that made it more obvious.
